Kraft: Get toxic phthalates out of mac and cheese

Dear Kraft Foods CEO Bernard Hess,

A recent study found phthalates, a hormone-disrupting chemical, in 29 of 30 cheese products tested, including 8 of the 9 Kraft products tested.

The study also found that the highest concentrations of phthalates were found in the processed cheese powder in those mac and cheese boxes. These phthalates can pose a special risk to pregnant women and small children.

Kraft has shown a commitment to improving the nutritional value and quality of its food products, especially when it comes to mac and cheese. Now, I'm asking you to eliminate any and all sources of phthalates from your products.

Sincerely,

Sorry, we couldn't find your address.
Please correctly spell out the full address, and do not abbreviate (for example, spell out SAINT PAUL instead of St. Paul).
Please refrain from including any extra dashes or symbols when you enter your street address.

By providing my contact information, I consent to have Arizona PIRG and the other groups in The Public Interest Network contact me with information about this and future campaigns. View our Privacy Policy.
